Dramatic Protest Disrupts Event

The uproar unfolded on Sunday at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Auditorium, where Chandrashekhar was addressing a gathering on social justice, Dalit rights, and political participation. Suddenly, a group of women entered the auditorium, holding placards emblazoned with slogans such as “Send the rape accused to jail” alongside Chandrashekhar’s photograph. The women shouted for justice, creating a scene of chaos and confrontation.

Bhim Army and Police Step In

As the women’s protest intensified, members of the Bhim Army—particularly its female cadre—stood their ground, leading to a heated face-off between the two groups. The situation threatened to spiral out of control until police intervened, escorting the protesting women out of the auditorium to restore order.

The protesters, visibly upset at being removed, accused the authorities of protecting the accused and silencing their voices. “We are protesting because he is a rapist and is being shielded by the system, while we are being treated like animals,” one woman said.

Heated Exchanges and Political Fallout

The protest triggered a war of words between Azad Samaj Party leaders and the demonstrators, with both sides trading accusations. Eyewitnesses reported brief chaos before police managed to bring the situation under control, allowing the event to resume.

Chandrashekhar Responds

When questioned by the media after the event, Chandrashekhar Azad responded calmly, stating, “Any allegations against me should be addressed in court, not on the streets. I have already answered these questions and will present my case legally. Matters of a woman’s honor should be handled with dignity, not public spectacle.”

He further added, “Those who are trying to corner me will realize the truth in time. If you face a dispute, would you resolve it on social media or in court? We should be discussing important issues facing Uttar Pradesh instead.”

Event Continues Amidst Controversy

Despite the disruption, the conference continued with speeches on social justice and Dalit rights, attended by party supporters and local residents. The incident, however, has sparked debate about accountability, women’s rights, and the handling of sensitive allegations in public life.
